Managers are the leaders of departments and sections and a lot would rely on how they can effectively perform up to par and get the best out of his subordinates depending on the leadership style that is varied today. Many would instill the democratic manner of leadership while some would use the dictatorial way to stress that he means business. But whatever style is used, performance is the utmost important aspect to measure the effectiveness of a motivational leader that everyone would look up to.
A changing of the guards with regards to managers is normal, especially if the department fails to meet the expectations from its supposed contribution to overall organizational performance. Not all managers are good leaders and it is not hard to assess how. Anyone would only have to look at what his team has accomplished and weigh this out with his shortcomings. This alone speaks widely of how a manager is effective in his tenure of leadership, either a promising or failing leader that has been empowered by upper management.
